I found Lese Majesty kind of disappointing, considering how much i liked the predecessor. Still good, haven't listened to it much though.

[Ozmosis]

Freddie Gibbs & Madlib - Piñata
Run The Jewels - Run The Jewels 2
Diamond District - March On Washington
The Roots - ...And Then You Shoot Your Cousin
Sage Francis - Copper Gone
Pharaoh Monch - PTSD
Logic - Under Pressure
Hail Mary Mallon - Bestiary

After listening to the NPR stream of 36 Seasons, it will be up there too.

I want to add to the list:

Ghostface Killah - 36 Seasons
YG - Krazy Life
PRhyme - PRhyme
Army of the Pharaohs - Heavy Lies the Crown

^^ these tracks Are all off the 1st disc(joint disc) (2nd disc is grouchs called lighthouses, 3rd disc is Elighs called Nomads)

but the 1st disc, kills everything else this year...

besides the winterfire ep, which was grouch and eligh with cunninylingists..

[Reiko]

I would say 'pinata'

I've heard only half of ABT, didn't like it. maybe one day

[Apocalypse]

a tie between Piñata and Blasphemy.

[Mumm Ra]

my standout favorites have been 36 Seasons and Pinata this year

I checked other popular album mentions in this thread but still think those two killed it

[Rame]

Roots
YG
Step Brothers
Black Milk
Cam'ron mixtape series

T.I. and The Game got some spins aswell.

Most of the music I listened to this year was 2013 though.
